Update: Ann Arbor Police said Sunday morning they have no further information to release on this incident.

The Flagstar Bank branch at 2001 Commonwealth Blvd. on the north side of Ann Arbor was robbed Saturday morning.

Ann Arbor police confirmed the robbery occurred around 11 a.m. but declined to immediately release more details.

A woman who answered the phone at the bank said the bank had been robbed and had closed early as a result but declined to provide any other information.

A handwritten sign on the bank door apologized to customers for the closing. The bank is ordinarily open until 1 p.m. on Saturday.

The robbery was the second bank robbery in Washtenaw County this week. A PNC Bank branch in Ypsilanti Township was robbed Tuesday. Robert James Murdock of Ypsilanti was arraigned in that case Friday.
